Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS TUF Gaming A17 to be very good for general use, while the HP Omen 17 is good.
The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 is highly suitable for general use due to its powerful AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and adequate RAM, along with a quality IPS screen that offers good color accuracy, making for pleasant viewing and productivity tasks, while it's also lighter and offers significantly longer battery life for better portability. Conversely, the HP Omen 17 includes a high-performing Intel CPU, superior RAM, a higher resolution screen with better color coverage for outstanding visual clarity, but it's heavier and has shorter battery life, which diminishes its portability for those on the move.

"There is one big question that needs an answer. Is the TUF Gaming A17 FA707 a better purchase than the ROG Strix G17 G713R (2022)? Well, it depends. Undoubtedly, the Strix is the more premium product. Arguably the biggest advantage it has over its TUF fellow is in regards to the display. ASUS TUF Gaming A17 A707’s IPS panel has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a very good contrast ratio."

"The HP Omen 17 (2022) gaming laptop has a stylish case and hardware with lots of potential. The HP Omen 17 is a fairly unobtrusive gaming laptop. A material combination of plastic and metal gives the case a high stability and a quality surface feel. The unspectacular design is pleasing and is hardly indicative of the laptop's high performance potential. The Intel Core i7-12700H in particular is able to perform well once again. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also strong in the gaming notebook. Demanding games run smoothly in Full HD resolution. The HP Omen 17 is a good gaming laptop that delivers partly excellent performance. But even at this performance level, cheaper alternatives are available."
